IMPORTANT
NOTES CONCERNING THE ALARM SYSTEM
Where climatic control is used in livestock buildings, breakdowns, malfunctions or faulty settings
may cause substantial damage and financial losses. It is therefore essential to install a separate,
independent alarm system, which monitors the house concurrently with the climate computer.
According to EU directives 98/58/EU an alarm system must be installed in any house that is
mechanically ventilated.
Please note that the product liability clause of SKOV A/S' general terms and conditions of sale and
delivery specifies that an alarm system must be installed.
In case of misoperation or improper use, ventilation systems can result in production loss
or cause loss of lives among animals.
SKOV A/S recommend that ventilation systems should be mounted, operated and serviced
only by trained staff and that a separate emergency opening unit and an alarm system be
installed as well as maintained and tested at regular intervals, according to SKOV A/S’s
terms and conditions of sale and delivery.

2 Mounting of DOL 339
1) Place the computer with the display (A) at eye level for the daily user.
2) Remember free space around the cabinet:
•43 cm (16.9”) (B) so that the front panel can be placed on top of the cabinet base during
service.
•10 cm (3.9”) (C) below the cabinet base for air cooling.
•10 cm (3.9”) (D) on the right side for operation of the AUT/MAN (Auto/Manual) change-
over switches.

3 Mounting of Auxiliary Contactor
Do not place the contactors in the climate computer. The contactors cause electrical disturbance which
can make the computer reset/restart.
Place the contactors in an external box next to the climate computer.
Figure 7: Mounting of auxiliary contactor
Do not place contactors in the climate computer as this causes electrical disturbance
which will make the computer reset/restart.

5 Mounting of Climate Sensors
•Never use a plug on the DOL 12 temperature sensor as a bad connection here could have
disastrous results.
•Always use reinforced house wiring cable, minimum 1 mm2, to avoid rodent attack.
•Never use shrink-on sleeves when splicing wires inside the livestock house. Use a contact
box.
•A plug on the DOL 14 humidity sensor is preferable so it can be removed during cleaning.
Placement of sensors inside the house
•Place the sensor in the centre of that particular pen, which is placed in the middle of the
house. Please pay attention to the fact that it is in the middle of the pen, not in the middle of
the house (when poultry: in the middle of the house).
•One metre above the animals (ensuring the animals cannot reach the sensors).
•Remember that temperature, humidity, alarm and emergency sensor should be placed
together.
•Two-climate sections: The sensors should be placed halfway between the covering and the
slats.
The sensor is not to be placed
Reason
Above penning equipment.
The animals may be able to reach them.
At feed dispenser/feed trough/transponder station.
Heat and humidity will rise to the position of the
sensors.
Near covering.
Heat from the covered area will rise to the position
of the sensors.
Near spraying system.
Water and humidity will affect the sensors.
Near cooling system.
Water and humidity will affect the sensors.
In a draughty area. The sensor is not to be directly
affected by the air intake.
Measures the wrong temperature in the house.
Not where sunrays can shine on the sensor through
windows.
Take into account that the altitude of the sun varies
with the season/time of day.
Measures a too high temperature. Too much
ventilation.
Above electric heater in the farrowing section.
The heat rises to the position of the sensors.
Above or in a position where it in some way will
be affected by the heating system/heating pipes.
The heat rises to the position of the sensors.
Placement of sensors outside the house
•On the shady side of the house to avoid the sun. Take into account that the altitude of the
sun varies with the seasons.
•As much in the open as possible, but protected from rain and snow.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
6 Electric Connection
6.1 Connecting Cables
Connect cables according to the three basic wiring diagrams which correspond to the emergency
opening of the system. See the document DOL 339 Cable Charts and Wiring Diagrams.
6.2 Setting of Mains Voltage
IMPORTANT Before you connect the mains voltage, it is important to set the voltage in
the computer so that it corresponds to the voltage level in the local
house.
You have the following options:
•230/240 V Leave the plug in (factory setting)
•200 V Move the plug to 200 V
•115 V Move the plug to 115 V
NB Fan speed controller modules can only operate at 230/240 V.
Figure 7: Power supply: Setting of mains voltage
Connect the mains voltage. After approx. 30 seconds, DOL 339 displays the temperature. The
computer is ready to be set.

When setting up the computer, there is a shortcut from the main
survey directly to the menus for CF card and installation.
Insert the enclosed CF card including the required language variant.
See also section 7.9. Press when is selected and choose the
function Program upload in order to gain access to load the
required language variant from the CF card.
Press to return to the main survey.
Press when is selected to gain access to the installation menu.
Select components in the DOL 339 installation menu (Technical /
Setup / Installation).
No more components than practically possible can be selected.
You must note whether the computer accepts your wish to connect a

Technical Manual 19
DOL 339 Climate and Production Computer
7.1.2 One- and Two-Zone Control
The livestock house can be controlled as two separate zones: front og rear. Thus, the following
functions must be set up separately for each zone: Temperature and humidity sensor, air intake, air
outlet, emergency opening, heating, air circulator, stand alone heating and high-pressure cooling.
7.1.3 Air Intake
DOL 339 includes three different types of air intake:
Roof inlet Roof inlets controlled by a flap, a fan and a recirculation fan (Roof is only
available in a one-zone livestock house).
Side inlet Wall inlets are regulated by a winch motor.
Tunnel inlet: Tunnel openings are regulated by a winch motor.
The function Manual tunnel input enables the connection of a change-
over switch so the change to/from side mode to tunnel ventilation can be
carried out manually.
A combination of the three types of air intake makes it possible to accommodate an increasing venti-
lation requirement by automatic change of ventilation mode from Roof to Side and finally to Tunnel.
7.1.3.1 Zone controlled Air Inlets
In a one-zone livestock house, each of up to six air inlets can be regulated as a separate inlet zone. In
each air inlet zone, the shutter position of the wall inlets can thus be regulated separately according to
a given excess or too low temperature in the zone.
Figure 8: Outline of livestock house with zone-regulated air intake.
The menu Technical / Setup / Adjustment / Climate / Zone controlled inlets
The installed temperature sensors are associated with an air inlet zone. If
there are several sensors in a zone, DOL 339 calculates an average
temperature according to which it will control.
The menu Climate / Ventilation / Zone controlled inlet
When the zone temperature deviates from Temperature setpoint (+
or -), DOL 339 adjusts the shutter position.

Temp. sensor zone 4 measures 21.5° C.
This equals a deviation of 0.5° C from Temperature setpoint.
0.5° C equals 50% of Deviation temp.
This results in a correction of 50% of Inlet correction factor = 0.5 x 10% = 5%
Since it is a too low temperature, the current flap opening (27%) is reduced by 5% = 22% flap opening.
7.1.4 Active Functions when the Control Fails
When installing MultiStep air outlets and high-pressure cooling, you must decide how these functions
are to react in an emergency situation.
MultiStep air outlet
Yes: When the control fails, the air outlet is active.
No: When the control fails, the air outlet is not active.
Spray cooling
Yes: When the control fails, spray cooling is active and runs until the
emergency situation is over.
No: When the control fails, spray cooling is not active.
NB Note that in an emergency situation DOL 339 cannot regulate according to temperature and
humidity. If you select Yes (Active at failure), spray cooling runs no matter whether the
temperature is too low and humidity is too high in the house.
NB Note also that a combination of a high inside temperature and high air humidity can be life-
threatening to the birds.
Light
Yes: When the control fails, the light is on.
No: When the control fails, the light is off.
7.1.5 Slave Relays
It is possible to choose a slave relay for the functions Heating, Stand-alone heat, Cooling, Pad cooling
and Light control; it will work in the same way as the master relays –however, with a delay of one
second. When the computer is set to Manual, the slave relays will also follow the master relays.
